Appeals Court Upholds Most of Texas' Anti-Sanctuary Cities Bill

All but one provision of Texas' 2017 sanctuary cities law can be enforced as the law makes its long journey through the federal courts, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday.

It also threatens officials with jail time for not cooperating with federal immigration authorities.

"For the following reasons, we uphold the statute in its entirety except for the application of the "endorsement" prohibition ... to elected officials". The White House has been blocked by judges elsewhere in the country from taking away federal funding from cities that shelter illegal immigrants, whom President Donald Trump has characterized as interlopers that take jobs and social services that rightfully belong to us citizens.

According to the US-based media reports, the "Sanctuary cities" bill allows police officers to ask people during routine stops whether they are in the U.S. legally and threatens local sheriffs with jail time for not cooperating with federal immigration authorities.

SB4 had been slated to go into effect September 1, but just days before a federal district judge issued a broad injunction. The court made clear that we remain free to challenge the manner in which the law is implemented, so we will be monitoring the situation on the ground closely.

The law also requires local law enforcement agencies to comply with detainer requests by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, unless there is proof that the person is a citizen or lawfully in the country.
